I'd love to see Contact get some special treatment. How about a sequel too. But I don't have your answer.

Someone has to stop the evil from spreading, I just bought Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man from the $5.50 rack earlier today on my way to the checkout line.

But back to Blade Runner, I wouldn't necessarily connect it being in the cheap bins to a new edition coming out. It's been readily available for under $10 for a few years and besides, there are plenty of other movies in those bins that haven't been re-released...like Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man.

Yeah, the DC currently available has a pretty bad video transfer, but in all fairness it's a pretty old one in terms of DVD. I'd actually be happy at this point with just a re-release of the DC with a new transfer, Ridley Scott commentary, an isolated Vangelis score, and a few featurettes. I've still got my Criterion LD with the international theatrical cut floating around the house, so I could do without a disc and version of the film that Warner doesn't have the rights to distribute for a while, I just wish they'd fix and add to what they do have the rights to.

A number of those titles are available pretty cheap in the discount bins at Walmart. A number of them seem doubtful to me... The only one I know for sure is getting a new release is "Bladerunner." The "True Lies" rumor has been around the net as well. I too would like to see a re-release of "Moonstruck" in anamorphic widescreen. I refuse to buy the existing version.
